rickshaw signs #4
sign inside an auto-rickshaw:
प्यास लगी है, कुछ तो पिला दो,
या खुदा हमें भी ऐश्वर्या से मिला दो
pyaas lagi hai, kuchh toh pila do,
ya khuda humein bhi aishwarya se mila do
translating this to english would loose its essence. the truly curious can attempt so at google translate.

love and longing
the juxtaposition of meanings - of time and space - in this photograph is quite interesting. there's the young couple facing the sea, in a world of their own, dwelling in love. and then there's the widowed-lady, perhaps yearning for a love gone by. alone, she sits facing the city and watches the passer-bys.
shot at marine drive. another photo from the same evening here: love and the city.

entrance to a housing block in versova village. the sea and all its myths and creatures are popular motifs and appear in varied forms throughout the neighbourhood.
